Helping you connect to hope & find healing that lasts.
I’m a Davidson-based integrative Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who offers virtual therapy and medication management across North Carolina, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
WE’LL WORK WELL TOGETHER IF…
You’re as committed to feeling better as I am to helping you get there.
You’re here because you know yourself, what works, and what doesn’t, and you’re open to exploring that next piece of the puzzle. You’re not just looking for a quick fix that helps you feel better for a few days or weeks, you want to really feel like you again—balanced, calm, and motivated. Maybe you already know the power of things like journaling or meditation, and you’re curious about how deeper changes—whether through medication, nutrition, supplements, or new therapeutic approaches—could fit into your journey.
This is about creating a space where your whole self is valued, and every part of you has the chance to heal and thrive.
My approach
Let’s create more balance in your mind, body, and life.
When you’ve been struggling for so long, it’s natural to wonder if you’ll ever feel better. Let me assure you, science says you absolutely can.
Part of what I do is help you understand what’s happening in your body—how your nervous system works, how stress and trauma can throw it off balance, and how medication, supplements, and therapy can support you in feeling better. It’s through this holistic lens that we can get a clearer picture of what kind of support will actually help you address whatever you’re struggling with, both now and in the future.
You deserve care that explains the “why” while empowering you to reclaim your energy and hope.

About short-term fixes
Together we can…
-
Your nervous system is wired to keep you safe, but sometimes it misinterprets situations and leaves you feeling more anxious or overwhelmed than secure. We’ll explore how your body and brain work together, and how things like stress or trauma might be affecting your mental health.
I’ll walk you through how medication, supplements, therapy, and even lifestyle changes can help your system find balance. By understanding how everything is connected, you can start to feel more in control of how you respond to life’s challenges.
-
This is a partnership, and your input matters every step of the way. We’ll explore different options together—whether that’s medication, supplements, therapy, or lifestyle changes—and fine-tune them based on what feels right for you. I’ll ask questions and really listen, making sure we’re moving toward what you need and want. Your care is about more than just checking boxes, it’s about creating something that fits your life and evolves with you.
-
Sometimes it can feel like there’s a tug-of-war happening inside you—part of you wants one thing, while another part pulls in a different direction. Together, we can explore those different parts of yourself, helping you make sense of what they need and how they’re trying to protect you. Over time, you can feel lighter, less stuck, and more free to show up as your full, authentic self. This work helps you reconnect with your emotions in a way that feels less overwhelming and more empowering.
-
Medication can be a powerful tool, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also look at how things like nutrition, movement, sleep, and specialized therapies can support your overall well-being. These are the practices that strengthen your body and mind over time, helping you feel good from the inside out. With the right combination of tools and care, you can move beyond just managing symptoms to finding deeper, lasting healing.
